What should be changed within the Opus Dei?
As I have said: I hope these pages can also serve as an inspiration for the organization to change. This document lists a lot of their problems and I think it should be fairly obvious what should be changed. We can hope that they withstand the temptation to make some “cosmetic” improvements on the surface while not dealing with the root of the problem: i.e. the teachings of Escriva. Here are some thoughts on how a reformed Opus Dei could appear: • No more secrecy – instead people would be encouraged to be open and honest wherever they go. • Encouragement of individual and critical thinking on all (worldly and religious) matters. Encouragement of individual responsibility. No censorship of books, etc .. anymore. • Democratic structure. • More focus on charity and love for the neighbour instead of political indoctrination. I guess when they start with these all other problems will go away too. The basis of all is of course a critical position concerning some of the teachings of Escriva
